An effective email security solution that provides DLP, Safe Attachment, and Safe Links
If you want extensive email security, you need to purchase a Plan 2 license. Plan 1 and Plan 2 are the two plans for Microsoft Exchange Online Protection. Some customers hesitate to purchase this product because it adds some costs to them, which is necessary for them. It would be helpful for customers if Plan 1 features were included with EOP. However, they still need to purchase Plan 2 for advanced security features. One of our clients recently requested to compare Zimbra's features with Microsoft Exchange Online Protection. Zimbra is open source, while Microsoft Exchange Online Protection is not. When I compare both the products, many free features are available in Zimbra because it is open-source software. It makes no sense to request Microsoft Exchange Online Protection add all the features people get on open-source software like Zimbra. Hence, I would say whatever features Microsoft Exchange Online Protection has are enough. Microsoft has a dedicated research team that should research and add new techniques like phishing and spamming solutions to the product.

A straightforward setup and good reliability with useful security capabilities
This is a cloud-only solution and is always up to date. We're always using the latest deployment of the solution. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. New users need to have a good definition underneath the product so that they are using the solution in the best way for their company.

"We can migrate seamlessly without any disruptions to our operations."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The solution is easy to integrate."

Cons

"The solution must improve the user experience."
"We have experienced issues while migrating from on-prem to the cloud. The tool needs to improve its stability."
"They should specify the difference between Defender for Office 365 and Exchange Online Protection."
"The biggest issue that I experience is that Microsoft keeps moving things around, and it's very inconsistent as to where you find the information when you're trying to work on different pieces."
"Our company faces difficulty with Microsoft Exchange Online Protection (EOP) because it's too big, clunky, and difficult for a small client to implement quickly and easily."
"Not all settings can be configured automatically and most still require manual configuration. However, there is an automation tool available that can be used to input all the configurations either as a script or a tool it would be helpful."
"They should provide separate corporate-level licenses for two to three instances."
"There is room for improvement in the DLP component of Trend Micro Cloud App Security."

"The price of the solution could improve by being lower."
